http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/ The University of Queensland en Fez http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:3885 Fez is the University of Queensland’s (UQ) new digital repository management and workflow system. Robust and scalable, the open source system is Fedora-based and provides easy access to electronic content like theses, book chapters, articles and research output. Fez is based on PHP and MySQL and provides a user-friendly front-end to Fedora 2.1.1+. Highly flexible and configurable, Fez is an advanced administration and content management tool for digital repositories. This case study will show how Fez can be easily customised to manage a large, multi-user content entry project with complex security requirements. This capability is highlighted in UQ’s current Research Assessment Exercise (RAE), which will see international expert panels assessing multiple research articles from the University’s academic staff. Academic staff from different schools and centres must nominate their top three research works from the last five years to be deposited into Fez for review. Specific content models were developed to meet the reporting requirements of the RAE, including a 'citation view' facility, with links to either the object's digital object identifier or to a locally housed version of the file to grant reviewers full access to materials. To simplify metadata creation, Fez was integrated with data feeds from UQ central human resource systems to provide rich form controls based on cutting-edge AJAX technology. For example, an 'author suggest' control was developed to assist users by predicting an author’s name as it is typed, based on an institutional academic staff list. Fez is also being prepared for federated authentication and authorization based on the international standard eduPerson attributes, implemented with Shibboleth technology. This will assist future RAE processes by allowing external reviewers to authenticate using their own institutions central identity provider and Fez will be able to apply access control rules for these external reviewers based on their individual eduPerson attributes. 2006-12-05T15:36:24Z Christiaan Kortekaas http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:185620 Fez is an open source content management system for Fedora. This presentation will provide an update on many of the exciting new features and integrations in the latest Fez codebase, focusing on how its lead development team at The University of Queensland, Australia is deploying them at UQ. Archival and preservation services for iTunes U workflows, Google Maps for download statistics visualisation, Thomson Web Services integration and KIRTAS book scanner workflow integration will be detailed and demonstrated. The presentation will conclude with an outline of the future direction of the Fez software and the Fez open source community. 2009-11-11T00:00:00Z Webster, Keith G. og Kortekaas, Christiaan http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:119976 2007-11-17T00:00:00Z Kortekaas, Christiaan http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:11924 The University of Queensland, Australia has developed Fez, a world-leading user-interface and management system for Fedora-based institutional repositories, which bridges the gap between a repository and users. Christiaan Kortekaas, Andrew Bennett and Keith Webster will review this open source software that gives institutions the power to create a comprehensive repository solution without the hassle.. 2007-01-26T00:00:00Z Kortekaas, Christiaan Gerard http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:12868 This document records the process of migrating eprints.org data to a Fez repository. Fez is a Web-based digital repository and workflow management system based on Fedora (http://www.fedora.info/). At the time of migration, the University of Queensland Library was using EPrints 2.2.1 [pepper] for its ePrintsUQ repository. Once we began to develop Fez, we did not upgrade to later versions of eprints.org software since we knew we would be migrating data from ePrintsUQ to the Fez-based UQ eSpace. Since this document records our experiences of migration from an earlier version of eprints.org, anyone seeking to migrate eprints.org data into a Fez repository might encounter some small differences. Moving UQ publication data from an eprints.org repository into a Fez repository (hereafter called UQ eSpace (http://espace.uq.edu.au/) was part of a plan to integrate metadata (and, in some cases, full texts) about all UQ research outputs, including theses, images, multimedia and datasets, in a single repository. This tied in with the plan to identify and capture the research output of a single institution, the main task of the eScholarshipUQ testbed for the Australian Partnership for Sustainable Repositories project (http://www.apsr.edu.au/). The migration could not occur at UQ until the functionality in Fez was at least equal to that of the existing ePrintsUQ repository. Accordingly, as Fez development occurred throughout 2006, a list of eprints.org functionality not currently supported in Fez was created so that programming of such development could be planned for and implemented. 2007-03-06T00:00:00Z Weaver, Belinda http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:3886 A presentation on the University of Queensland's readiness for the proposed Research Quality Framework prepared for the Australian Partnership for Sustainable Respositories and the Commonwealth Department of Education, Science and Training. 2006-12-05T00:00:00Z Weaver, Belinda
